Curtailing forest access greatly affects the economies of small rural communities. Wise management of the road system is not closures to eliminate rural lifestyles but allowing access for recreationists during peak use periods.

Outsourced Visual Effects are displacing millions of American workers. Companies using foreign artists need to pay for the costs of displacing these U.S. workers, and these fees will also reduce the incentive for these companies to send these services out in the first place. Tariffs are applied to products because Union pressure forced the Government to apply tariffs for outsourced goods. The professions that are being displaced are not represented by unions, the government needs to get directly involved. Tariffs need to be applied to outsourced Visual Effects to provide income from the studios to help pay for the Government assistance that is being spent AS A DIRECT RESULT of their outsourcing. In accordance with some legal research already done in this area, the implementation of this tariff could use the "Countervailing Duty" (CVD) to accomplish this goal. This law is already in place, and would be the easiest way to implement this goal.

It's the right thing to do to finally separate church from state as in our Constitution. Immediately stop this graft and greed now and theft from our U . S. coffers.

We the people, cannot find jobs because all of the work has gone to China. All of the jobs are outsourced. We need to take a stand against the big companies in the USA who moved their jobs to China. We will show these big companies that we do not want unsafe, poorly made products that should be Made in the USA.

Americans need to be concerned about this issue because the wealthiest keep getting tax breaks, and our President and Congress keep reducing or eliminating vital programs for the American people. Austerity does not work. Stimulating the economy works and the 1% sales tax on Wall Street will stimulate this economy.

The closing of Janesville Acoustics is going to eliminate 290 jobs in the city of Norwalk. Janesville's parent company Jason Inc., claims that GM has asked them to relocate to be closer to its customers and to grow their business. Help us demand that our local, state and federal representatives step in to try to save the livelihood of 290 Ohio families. Sign this petition to support American families keep their American jobs.

As ASL interpreters serving the deaf community, we see every day how fatigue hurts interpreting accuracy. Accurate, high-quality interpreting is critically important -- and it can sometimes make a life-or-death difference. No one wants an overworked, injured or tired interpreter for an important call. But driven by desire for higher profit margins, our corporate employers are imposing higher and higher productivity demands on ASL video interpreters -- harming both our health and the quality of service we can give consumers. In response, those of us who work at four Purple Communications call centers formed a union and are now fighting for our first contract. Please join us in our efforts to set new standards to make the VRS industry safe and effective -- for interpreters and for the people we serve.

Profitable corporations are taking unfair advantage of public assistance programs by underpaying employees.

Our lender will not modify our mortgage and will not participate with Federal/State programs to help homeowners.

I'm tired of paying taxes to support minimum-wage paying Corporations. WalMart, McDonalds, and others are shirking their responsibility to their employees by underpaying their people while raking in billions for the top executives. Make these companies do their part to provide an above the poverty line income to their employees, so they can live with dignity.

According to N.C. Justice Center: "Raising the minimum wage to $9.00 by 2015 would affect approximately 693,000 workers in North Carolina. More than 80 percent of these workers are over 20 years of age, and almost half of those who would be directly affected work full-time." The article also pointed out that this "raise" would be spent immediately on food and other necessities thereby helping the state economy. Our state needs help.

I am tired of the continuing trend of "keeping up with the Jones' at the expense and total disregard for the feelings of the floor level employee.
